On Tuesday, November 3, our community will vote on implementing this proposed sales tax for the modernization of Middlesex High School, built in 1949.
A comprehensive study has documented significant aging, safety, accessibility, code, and infrastructure needs at MHS.
If approved, the tax would be paid on taxable purchases by residents AND nonresidents, helping to address the urgent need while relieving some of the burden on property tax payers.

Congratulations to Liam Simmons, a rising seventh grader at St. Clare Walker Middle School, for taking 1st place in the CO₂ Dragster Competition at the 2026 National TSA Conference! 🚀
Liam’s dragster was the fastest out of 173 middle school entries from across the country! 🇺🇸
After months of designing, building, shaping, and testing his dragster with SCW Technology Education teacher Matt Short, Liam’s hard work paid off in a BIG way! 🔧🏎️💨
Be sure to check out Liam’s first-place trophy and winning dragster on display in the SCW cafeteria!
